"Over the years I was fortunate enough to work for interesting, mainly European clients. My stories as pentester and security officer are not all stories of success. On the contrary, a lot of things have gone wrong. A big lot of things, and a lot of wrong. For me, legal disclaimers are worth their weight in gold.

In October's meeting, Mark Phillips will present on the topic of "RF Hacking using GNURadio - An Introduction".

I would like to share these failures as pentester with you - because there are already so many people who are successful."

RF hacking and analysis has been gaining coverage in the security press over the past 18 months. This session will introduce you to the concepts of RF, "software defined radio" and the GNURadio framework:

We are forever looking for volunteers to present at the chapter meetings, so if you've seen something interesting or you have something to say, please let us know.

Often, when we approach potential presenters, we tend to get the following response – “I don’t think my topic is interesting enough”. We just want to stress that as long as the topic is security related – we’re all ears! We’re just a bunch of nice people wanting to learn/share our knowledge of the security domain. So if you would like to present or know of someone that does, please contact us.
